New exam

M. Iftikhar Uddin, On e-mail
The primary & secondary education board has recently introduced a public exam-- 'somaponi' exam. The objective of this exam is to uniformly evaluate the students just as the SSC exams. However, some aspects of this exam should be reconsidered: Students are to complete eight exams in four days (two exams daily). For students of class V, this is a tall order, especially considering the fact that even in SSC & HSC there is a single exam each day. The gap between each exam day is to be considered as well. Instead of 50 marks for Social Science & 50 marks for Science, the board has introduced 100 marks for each subject. That too with a very short lead time. If your daily takes up this issue, we believe the board authorities will rethink and will come up with a more realistic plan.
